I went on this ride as my teenage son went off on his own in the park a few years ago. I came off the Black Widow disturbed. Like the feeling you have when you wake up from a bad dream and wonder if it really happened. I see kids ride this thing years younger than my son and they shake it off as if it's no big deal. I was terrified by this ride and I'm 45.
I imagine this is what Spider-Man feels like when he swings from building to building. Rode it for the first time yesterday. It's a great ride, and at the peak the weightlessness is awesome. The wait for it was fairly modest (only about 30 minutes) and it was on a Saturday.
This is the scariest ride I have ever been on. The video does not really capture the terror. It swings you several hundred feet in the air, you are nearly upside down, the only thing keeping you from falling to your death is a plastic harness over your shoulders. I was screaming like a little girl. I love rides, especially coasters. Not this sadistic contraption. This is the first time I ever felt nauseous on a ride. My palms are sweating just watching this video. I think it causes PTSD. I have developed an urge to become homeless and drink cheap scotch with Vietnam war vets.
My friend almost fell out when she rode it. She's really skinny. Anyway, I'm going on it with her in a week, and these comments are making me fucking terrified lmao. I know an adult that peed their pants on this. Honest;y, I'm just hoping I don't throw up. That's all. 😂
C. David Graves I've rode it multiple times, and it's not plastic that holds you in, it's steel. Plus, you obviously haven't been on a coaster before, because they go upside down, some higher than that, with the same exact type of harness
I rode this today for the first time. I'm not going to lie. This thing is thrilling! It is very, very high. I normally don't do swinging things, but I found that the beginning of the ride was worse than when you actually got up in the air. The quick back and forth in the beginning made me close my eyes, but once we were up in the air it was amazing!!! The view of river is awesome. I highly recommend this one.
I love how it goes almost as high as the phantom does! The view is amazing if you take time to look (thats if you face downward on the peaks, it seems like this view faces up most of the time)
+Jazzy Potato I'm 12 and I rode it while I was 11. My friends forced me too and I was scared for life but then once I got on it I was like okay I'm going to die😂 but once you start... It's fine and super fub
It seems like those area of seats face upwards a lot on the peaks, I think that'd be interesting to try out different seats and positions to see if certain seating arrangements affect the experience.
It was my first time ridining anything good at kennywood and I loved it the black widow and the phantoms revenge were the greatest and funniest things ever
it was soo fun! and when I went on it yesterday the ride before us had someone famous on it on musical.ly and they say he had like a million followers or something! yup.
This looks like a lot of fun, but I don't know if I'll ride it because I rode the Claw before and it really messed up my back, so I'm kinda afraid the G-forces on this will do the same.
the first (and so far only) time i went to kennywood was last year in august, and that was when idlewild was the only park i've been to my whole life, and i was still scared to go on this even though i went on everything else, idk why, but now i rode the claw at hershey and that one is a huss revolution (i think it's huss) and those are very similar to zamperla giant discoveries (which is what this is) so i'm definately going on it next time i go
i went yesterday and waited an hour and a half. during that time, the black widow broke down about 5 times and everyone had to get off and back on. when i finally got on, there was a balancing problem and we had to get off.
Rode this for the st time a few weeks ago.... I didn't speak for 5 minutes afterwards. LoL - From the ground you're all... "ok, so it goes back n forth, cool" When on it... you realize you are going at speeds up to 80 & do hang there well over the top of the ride. o-0 A+++ will ride again
I noticed that in the description you said you can't film with a handheld camera. Is it alright to film the rides using a gopro like you used in this video?
This ride is absolutely amazing! Now this is just me, but I think that this was much better than Pitt Fall ( Yes, I liked Pitt Fall also. ). But, this ride is so much fun. Plus, I love the speed on it, It made my head pound :)
It's about 3 minutes long. But the line is always like, an hour! It would be worth it to buy one of those VIP passes that let you cut to the front of the line, they don't cost very much. The only reason I even got to ride it is because I got to skip the line with my dad. (he is handicapped) Lol, the line is crazy long. It'll probably get better when the ride's not as new.
Would I get sick on this ride if I get sick on the pirate ship? I do fine on the cosmic chaos and the aero 360, but for some reason I can't ride the pirate ship.
Black Widow is higher, actually. Delirium's max swing height is 137 feet, Black Widow hits 146. Delirium is a little faster, though, if the listed stats are accurate.
I rode this 2 times yesterday the second time was at like 9:30 at night in dark it was so scary as I was in the air we went so high I could see the upside down horizon looking up
I told my little sister's friend that i would go on this ride with her last summer, and i'm going this thursday, so i am going through watching all the pov videos and reviews and i'm sitting here thinking "what the fuck did i get myself into?"
i am terrified of hights and i never went on that and every time i go past it in kenny wood i cant walk so tcan you please comment or like if it would be a good idea to go on it?
But, the cosmic chaos I feel like spins a lot more and it is really tight on your back. But I agree try that first or maybe the swing shot to get the idea of your going to be looking down
AWESOME, GOING NEXT WEEK, NOT SURE WHAT DAY YET, CHECKING WEATHER TO SEE WHAT DAY WOULD BE GOOD, EXTERMINATOR IS FIRST MOST DEFINITELY, THEN THE BLACK WIDOW, THEN WHO KNOWS...
It looks scarier in this video but when I looked in other videos of people on, it doesn't look as scary...my best friend wants me to ride it but idk if i should 😭
I rode this a few months ago and it was the longest 3 minutes of my life

Lion in the clouds at 1:20.
Heading there tomorrow! Bright and early. I'm definitely gonna ride this!
Going to KennyWood for my birthday while riding this I'll be screaming Holy Hades!
Going to Kennywood in about a week! I always get excited knowing I'll be going there :)
So many memorizes with the black widow. Its a great ride!
Wait, you mean to tell me Black Widow is 4 years old? You mean to tell me it has been at least 4 years since I last ride the Pitt Fall?
IKR
Can't wait to ride this! I'll be there Friday for it!
Did you enjoy it?
This has NOPE written allllllll over it.
Trisha Donnon it’s AWESOME
no it doesn't
I rode this and I’m only 12
It’s not bad it’s more fun than scary
The camera makes it seem a lot higher I promise haha

no way its sooooo fun. i cant wait to go on it again!!!😝😍
My friend almost fell out when she rode it. She's really skinny. Anyway, I'm going on it with her in a week, and these comments are making me fucking terrified lmao. I know an adult that peed their pants on this. Honest;y, I'm just hoping I don't throw up. That's all. 😂

Lol "hundreds" of feet. This thing is only about 150 ft tall
Lmao!!!

I went on this. I conquered my fear of heights.
Should I ride this? I am terrified! Last time I came to Kennywood I ran out of line!😖 ( I'm ten.)
I was screaming while on it. One thing is for sure, I'm never going on it again. But if you enjoy a good thrill, go on it.
+Jazzy Potato I'm 12 and I rode it while I was 11. My friends forced me too and I was scared for life but then once I got on it I was like okay I'm going to die😂 but once you start... It's fine and super fub
Somehow I'm not afraid of being high up on the Sky Rocket, yet I can't stand being at least 18 ft up lol
I rode this ride last summer. It was the most fun I'd ever had.
I have conquered my fear of heights
Captain Kap it really is super fun!
Tots excited to ride this when I get back in Pittsburgh this summer!! I miss Kennywood
It seems like those area of seats face upwards a lot on the peaks, I think that'd be interesting to try out different seats and positions to see if certain seating arrangements affect the experience.
Look at those blue skies! so excited that the weather finally broke in the burgh....Opening day is May 4th!
I'm going to Kennywood tomorrow and I'm so excited to ride it looks awesome!
Best ride in the park... by far!
Well it is awesome bro
This is a really great ride! I've rode on it twice! The seat in this video is probably the best seat if you're looking for a thrill!
It was my first time ridining anything good at kennywood and I loved it the black widow and the phantoms revenge were the greatest and funniest things ever
I was a bit nervous to ride this, but it was really fun! Sometimes you forget where you are when you’re in the air. It was an amazing experience.
I am actually going there today and i am so excited (and scared as $#!+) to ride this
I rode it and I was scared of heights, it was awesome! I had so much fun!
Going to Kennywood soon, my friend and I want to ride this, I'm nervous though haha
it was soo fun! and when I went on it yesterday the ride before us had someone famous on it on musical.ly and they say he had like a million followers or something! yup.
Twist Up phew at least it wasn’t tik Tok at the time
Right before I rode it yesterday, the harnesses did not work and when I got on!, I was nervous
This looks like a lot of fun, but I don't know if I'll ride it because I rode the Claw before and it really messed up my back, so I'm kinda afraid the G-forces on this will do the same.
Best Ride There!!!! I love it
When I rode it, those 3 minutes felt like hours. It's scary!
the first (and so far only) time i went to kennywood was last year in august, and that was when idlewild was the only park i've been to my whole life, and i was still scared to go on this even though i went on everything else, idk why, but now i rode the claw at hershey and that one is a huss revolution (i think it's huss) and those are very similar to zamperla giant discoveries (which is what this is) so i'm definately going on it next time i go
i went yesterday and waited an hour and a half. during that time, the black widow broke down about 5 times and everyone had to get off and back on. when i finally got on, there was a balancing problem and we had to get off.
This is my favorite ride. Its so much fun
Hey Kennywood, I have a question, how do the shoulder harnesses click and stay? I mean, I know it's safe but it kinda intrigues me how it works :)
It literally feels like your upside down at one point I love ittttt
Because u are slightly upside down lol
+Disn3y Freak lol yeah I guess I'm going this Saturday to kennywood
Rode this for the st time a few weeks ago.... I didn't speak for 5 minutes afterwards. LoL - From the ground you're all... "ok, so it goes back n forth, cool"
When on it... you realize you are going at speeds up to 80 & do hang there well over the top of the ride. o-0
A+++ will ride again
Going to Kennywood on Monday, I love the Season Pass :3
I noticed that in the description you said you can't film with a handheld camera. Is it alright to film the rides using a gopro like you used in this video?
for anyone who’s scared, face your fears it is legit the best ride ever
You wouldn't get me on that ride. It looks pretty scary.
Jay Ritch it’s not scary
Can't wait to go on this!!
I love this ride so much.
This ride is absolutely amazing! Now this is just me, but I think that this was much better than Pitt Fall ( Yes, I liked Pitt Fall also. ). But, this ride is so much fun. Plus, I love the speed on it, It made my head pound :)
Ugh. 12. more. hours. until. awesomeness. can't. wait.
It's about 3 minutes long. But the line is always like, an hour! It would be worth it to buy one of those VIP passes that let you cut to the front of the line, they don't cost very much. The only reason I even got to ride it is because I got to skip the line with my dad. (he is handicapped) Lol, the line is crazy long. It'll probably get better when the ride's not as new.
well this probably has the same feeling as cosmic chaos, just with dangling feet
Would I get sick on this ride if I get sick on the pirate ship? I do fine on the cosmic chaos and the aero 360, but for some reason I can't ride the pirate ship.
Was like, it's not too bad then 1:33 came and Nope! from then on XD
Black Widow is higher, actually. Delirium's max swing height is 137 feet, Black Widow hits 146. Delirium is a little faster, though, if the listed stats are accurate.
Wats faster(and/or higher) This or MaXair at Cedar Point?
This ride is so fun!
well cedar point has one of these
sickness whats that ride
seal i don't know
walrus me either
its like Chaos idk if i should go on that either ;(
I went on it today and its really fun but not as scary as you would think
Debating wheather or not to ride this I don't wanna get sick because it spins but it looks fun!
That looks fun!
I rode this 2 times yesterday the second time was at like 9:30 at night in dark it was so scary as I was in the air we went so high I could see the upside down horizon looking up
I'm gonna ride it again this year.
Just rode it today it was freaking awsome
It wasn't until 4 years later Six Flags started build these at their parks.
how long is it?
I rode this yesterday! Twice!! :)
I've been on it before and it goes so high
Wait a sec, how come I was just seein commercials for this like a month ago? Accidental?
Best ride EVER!
haha been on it great ride scary as hell but AMAZING
How tall is it?
I told my little sister's friend that i would go on this ride with her last summer, and i'm going this thursday, so i am going through watching all the pov videos and reviews and i'm sitting here thinking "what the fuck did i get myself into?"
That rides very fun I went on it today
were is this place?
West Mifflin, Pennsylvania on 4800 Kennywood Blvd
wich place is kennywood in?
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, North America, the western hemisphere, the world.
Got an offer to be the first the ride last week..... Nope waiting for something to go wrong first then after the adjustments are made I'll ride
This is so much better than pitfall...I bet you've never even risen this
I was actually a little bit disappointed by this ride. It went really high, but it was really slow. I liked the pitfall better.
In the first couple seconds of the video, you can hear the ride operators talking about going to the bathroom... SMH.
swornsongs hardly
COOLEST FUNNEST RIDE EVER!
Is it true that this ride is scarier than Cedar Point's Max Air?
Yes!
this ride is HELL
we went last monday especially for this ride and it was closed.....GYP!
Great ride
There was lots of screaming, but it is a fabulous ride!
This is alot like the Cosmic Chaos, isn't it?
I wanna go on this ride so bad
been on this and maxair at cedar pt. something about this one is just much better
i am terrified of hights and i never went on that and every time i go past it in kenny wood i cant walk so tcan you please comment or like if it would be a good idea to go on it?
First, try the cosmic chaos its basically the same thing but on ground and is not as high, if you don't like it then you won't like the black widow.
But, the cosmic chaos I feel like spins a lot more and it is really tight on your back. But I agree try that first or maybe the swing shot to get the idea of your going to be looking down
This ride goes 60 mph?... 0_o
Just watching this scares ne. No way I'm riding this in 1 day!
Might be going tomorrow! Freaking Out!
This was the day for Cornells school picnic I saw the making of the video
great ride
AWESOME, GOING NEXT WEEK, NOT SURE WHAT DAY YET, CHECKING WEATHER TO SEE WHAT DAY WOULD BE GOOD, EXTERMINATOR IS FIRST MOST DEFINITELY, THEN THE BLACK WIDOW, THEN WHO KNOWS...
I live in west mifflin and I go almost every week but I'm scared of this
It looks scarier in this video but when I looked in other videos of people on, it doesn't look as scary...my best friend wants me to ride it but idk if i should 😭
Just do it.
It's scary when you ride it,it feels like the belt thing will break
Clay-bit blocks OK good I wasn't the only one that thought the belt was breaking
Do it, sometimes it's good to get a scare out of ya and YOLO
best ride there. it's not as scary as it seems though.
this look so scary but idk i might ride it
went on this before it was fun !!!!
120-160 feet in full swing.
